Magnetic resonance imaging facility

Abstract

The present application relates to a magnetic resonance imaging facility comprising: an operating room configured for both surgery and interventional therapy and comprising a first patient table configured for a first patient to be treated by means of an intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging method or an interventional magnetic resonance imaging method to lie down; a scanning room spatially communicating with the operating room, configured for conventional diagnostic scanning and comprising a second patient table configured for a second patient only requiring magnetic resonance imaging to lie; a door arranged between the operating room and the scanning room, wherein when the door is closed, the cleanliness of the operating room and the cleanliness of the scanning room do not interfere with each other; and a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus including a ground walking mechanism configured to move the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus between a first position engaged with the first patient table and a second position engaged with the second patient table. The magnetic resonance imaging facility provided by the invention improves the utilization rate and reduces the cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and more particularly, the present application relates to MRI facilities. Background technique [0002] The intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (intraoperative MRI) method aims to combine surgical operations (eg, neurosurgery) with MRI to precisely locate, for example, lesions with the aid of imaging techniques. Similarly, interventional MRI methods have also been successfully applied in interventional treatments (eg, biopsies of bone marrow, liver, and breast lesions, and brain tumor ablation) to provide real-time image guidance. Compared with imaging techniques such as computerized tomography (CT), ultrasound imaging, and infrared imaging, MRI has the advantages of no need for contrast agents, no ionizing radiation, and two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging. [0003] However, in practice, both intraoperative MRI and interventional MRI have the problem tha...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in practice, both intraoperative MRI and interventional MRI have the problem that: MRI with high field strength (for example, 1.5T-3.0T) is easy to cause patients to be overheated by surgical instruments ( For example, needle or catheter) burns; and the scanning aperture of currently available MRI equipment is between 60 cm and 70 cm, which is not conducive to the operation of surgical instruments in the scanning aperture by the surgeon during the surgical operation or interventional treatment on the patient

At the same time, the MRI equipment currently used in intraoperative MRI, MRI equipment used in interventional MRI, and MRI equipment used in conventional scanning diagnosis are independent of each other, so it is necessary to provide a wide range of equipment for the surgical operating room, interventional treatment room, and diagnostic scanning room. Configure an expensive MRI equipment separately, resulting in low utilization rate of MRI equipment, so that the cost increases
